Three Wins Today, March 22, 2025
Today I went to a rally where I go to to see President Barlett speak. It was magical. However, I’m disabled, so I also barely feel alive.
I know I usually add a lot of detail about the wins, but I just can’t do that today,
Even though Unilever fired Ben and Jerry’s CEO, Ben and Jerry’s immediately posted about the dangers of the Save Act and to call your rep. That said I do want to make it clear that this has a minuscule chance of passing the senate, so don’t panic too much.
Disney shareholders rejected anti-DEI initiative. The Disney board even weighed in before the meeting telling them to reject the proposal:
Given the Company’s existing practices to assess participation in transparency efforts and the Board’s oversight of ESG [environmental, social and governance] reporting, workforce equity matters and human rights policies, we do not believe this proposal would provide additional value to shareholders.
The AG from all 50 states, yes, even yours, are working together to seek legal justice for two vets that have been denied their G.I. bill benefits by DT. Oregon AG, Dan Rayfield said:
It’s rare, but when something as important as this comes up, it’s no surprise that all 50 states have joined forces,. Our veterans deserve every benefit they’ve earned. The GI Bill is a promise we made, and standing together in this amicus brief sends a strong message: We will not let bureaucracy or red tape stand in the way of doing what’s right for those who’ve served. This is about honoring veterans, and all 50 states are saying ‘enough is enough’.
And those are today’s wins comment below with your favorite wins of the day! The more wins we share, the more hope we have.
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!
Ariella, you must also include the Detroit/Windsor protest...it was very uplifting to see our friends and neighbors on the Windsor side of the river...and ,the AOC/Bernie crowds are becoming humongous, a force of nature !!!
Yesterday a Montpelier, VT resident posted the event on our Front Porch Forum, "Honk if You Love Canada". A few days later, about one hundred people - including this Montrealer - showed up with Canadian flags and a Québecois tuque and lots of red clothing to answer the call. Lots of honking was heard at the corner of Main and State Street in this country's smallest capital.
